Haram

Haram refers to actions that are explicitly prohibited in Islam and are considered major sins for believers. The behaviors that are clearly stated as haram in the foundational texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah negatively affect the religious lives of Muslims. Haram includes certain actions that can lead to the collapse of individual and societal values. Behaviors such as alcohol consumption, interest-based transactions, and theft are considered haram. Haram actions have negative consequences not only on a societal level but also on an individual level. The Islamic faith encourages Muslims to avoid haram actions, keeping in mind the pursuit of a virtuous life.
